- The printer doesn't report closures very well. This is true in
- CMU CL 18b as well:
- (PRINT #'CLASS-NAME)
- gives
- #<Closure Over Function "DEFUN STRUCTURE-SLOT-ACCESSOR" {134D1A1}>
- It would be nice to make closures have a settable name slot,
- and make things like DEFSTRUCT and FLET, which create closures,
- set helpful values into this slot.
-
33:
And as long as we're wishing, it would be awfully nice if INSPECT could
also report on closures, telling about the values of the bound variables.
+ Currently INSPECT and DESCRIBE do show the values, but showing the
+ names of the bindings would be even nicer.

35:
The compiler assumes that any time a function of declared FTYPE
doesn't signal an error, its arguments were of the declared type.
so they could be supported after all. Very likely
SIGCONTEXT-FLOATING-POINT-MODES could now be supported, too.

Compiling and loading
(DEFUN FAIL (X) (THROW 'FAIL-TAG X))

about where in the user program the problem occurred.
+ (this is apparently mostly fixed on the SPARC, PPC, and x86 architectures:
+ while giving the backtrace the non-x86 systems complains about "unknown

-79:
- as pointed out by Dan Barlow on sbcl-devel 2000-07-02:
- The PICK-TEMPORARY-FILE-NAME utility used by LOAD-FOREIGN uses
- an easily guessable temporary filename in a way which might open
- applications using LOAD-FOREIGN to hijacking by malicious users
- on the same machine. Incantations for doing this safely are
- floating around the net in various "how to write secure programs
- despite Unix" documents, and it would be good to (1) fix this in
- LOAD-FOREIGN, and (2) hunt for any other code which uses temporary
- files and make it share the same new safe logic.
-
- (partially alleviated in sbcl-0.7.9.32 by a fix by Matthew Danish to
- make the temporary filename less easily guessable)
+ (Actually this has changed changed since, and types as above are
+ now supported. This may be a bug.)
83:
RANDOM-INTEGER-EXTRA-BITS=10 may not be large enough for the RANDOM
holding... * is not equivalent to T in many cases, such as
(VECTOR *) /= (VECTOR T).
-95:
- The facility for dumping a running Lisp image to disk gets confused
- when run without the PURIFY option, and creates an unnecessarily large
- core file (apparently representing memory usage up to the previous
- high-water mark). Moreover, when the file is loaded, it confuses the
- GC, so that thereafter memory usage can never be reduced below that
- level.
-
- (As of 0.8.7.3 it's likely that the latter half of this bug is fixed.
- The interaction between gencgc and the variables used by
- save-lisp-and-die is still nonoptimal, though, so no respite from
- big core files yet)
-
98:
In sbcl-0.6.11.41 (and in all earlier SBCL, and in CMU
CL), out-of-line structure slot setters are horribly inefficient
a STYLE-WARNING for references to variables similar to locals might
be a good thing.)

Ideally, uninterning a symbol would allow it, and its associated
FDEFINITION and PROCLAIM data, to be reclaimed by the GC. However,

-167:
- In sbcl-0.7.3.11, compiling the (illegal) code
- (in-package :cl-user)
- (defmethod prove ((uustk uustk))
- (zap ((frob () nil))
- (frob)))
- gives the (not terribly clear) error message
- ; caught ERROR:
- ; (during macroexpansion of (DEFMETHOD PROVE ...))
- ; can't get template for (FROB NIL NIL)
- The problem seems to be that the code walker used by the DEFMETHOD
- macro is unhappy with the illegal syntax in the method body, and
- is giving an unclear error message.
-
173:
The compiler sometimes tries to constant-fold expressions before
it checks to see whether they can be reached. This can lead to
classes). This means that at present erroneous attempts to use
WITH-SLOTS and the like on classes with metaclass STRUCTURE-CLASS
won't get the corresponding STYLE-WARNING.
+
+ [much later, in 2006-08] in fact it's no longer erroneous to use
+ WITH-SLOTS on structure-classes. However, including :METACLASS
+ STRUCTURE-CLASS in the class definition gives a whole bunch of
+ function redefinition warnings, so we're still not good to close

-217: "Bad type operations with FUNCTION types"
- In sbcl.0.7.7:
-
- * (values-type-union (specifier-type '(function (base-char)))
- (specifier-type '(function (integer))))
-
- #<FUN-TYPE (FUNCTION (BASE-CHAR) *)>
-
- It causes insertion of wrong type assertions into generated
- code. E.g.
-
- (defun foo (x s)
- (let ((f (etypecase x
- (character #'write-char)
- (integer #'write-byte))))
- (funcall f x s)
- (etypecase x
- (character (write-char x s))
- (integer (write-byte x s)))))
-
- Then (FOO #\1 *STANDARD-OUTPUT*) signals type error.
-
- (In 0.7.9.1 the result type is (FUNCTION * *), so Python does not
- produce invalid code, but type checking is not accurate.)
-

- b.

- (defun foo (x y)

235: "type system and inline expansion"
a.
(declaim (ftype (function (cons) number) acc))
(foo '(nil) '(t)) => NIL, T.
+ As of 0.9.15.41 this seems to be due to ACC being inlined only once
+ inside FOO, which results in the second call reusing the FUNCTIONAL
+ resulting from the first -- which doesn't check the type.
+
237: "Environment arguments to type functions"
a. Functions SUBTYPEP, TYPEP, UPGRADED-ARRAY-ELEMENT-TYPE, and
UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE now have an optional environment
(UNSIGNED-BYTE 8) will write to the stream one byte at a time,
rather than writing the sequence in one go, leading to severe
performance degradation.
+ As of sbcl-0.9.0.36, this is solved for fd-streams, so is less of a
+ problem in practice. (Fully fixing this would require adding a
+ ansi-stream-n-bout slot and associated methods to write a byte
+ sequence to ansi-stream, similar to the existing ansi-stream-sout
+ slot/functions.)
243: "STYLE-WARNING overenthusiasm for unused variables"
(observed from clx compilation)
a. (lambda () (svref (make-array 8 :adjustable t) 1))

c. (lambda (x)

b. The same for CSUBTYPEP.
262: "yet another bug in inline expansion of local functions"
- Compiler fails on

- (flet ((xyz (u)

-
- Urgh... It's time to write IR1-copier.
+ During inline expansion of a local function Python can try to
+ reference optimized away objects (functions, variables, CTRANs from
+ tags and blocks), which later may lead to problems. Some of the
+ cases are worked around by forbidding expansion in such cases, but
+ the better way would be to reimplement inline expansion by copying
+ IR1 structures.

-281: COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD error signalling.
- (slightly obscured by a non-0 default value for
- SB-PCL::*MAX-EMF-PRECOMPUTE-METHODS*)
- It would be natural for COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD to signal errors
- when it finds a method with invalid qualifiers. However, it
- shouldn't signal errors when any such methods are not applicable to
- the particular call being evaluated, and certainly it shouldn't when
- simply precomputing effective methods that may never be called.
- (setf sb-pcl::*max-emf-precompute-methods* 0)
- (defgeneric foo (x)
- (:method-combination +)
- (:method ((x symbol)) 1)
- (:method + ((x number)) x))
- (foo 1) -> ERROR, but should simply return 1

- The issue seems to be that construction of a discriminating function
- calls COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD with methods that are not all applicable.

284: Thread safety: special variables
There are lots of special variables in SBCL, and I feel sure that at
least some of them are indicative of potentially thread-unsafe
(tail)-recursive simplification pass and transforms/VOPs for base
cases.
-287: PPC/Linux miscompilation or corruption in first GC
- When the runtime is compiled with -O3 on certain PPC/Linux machines, a
- segmentation fault is reported at the point of first triggered GC,
- during the compilation of DEFSTRUCT WRAPPER. As a temporary workaround,
- the runtime is no longer compiled with -O3 on PPC/Linux, but it is likely
- that this merely obscures, not solves, the underlying problem; as and when
- underlying problems are fixed, it would be worth trying again to provoke
- this problem.

288: fundamental cross-compilation issues (from old UGLINESS file)
Using host floating point numbers to represent target floating point

-338: "MOP specializers as type specifiers"
- (reported by Bruno Haible sbcl-devel 2004-06-11)
-
- ANSI 7.6.2 says:
- Because every valid parameter specializer is also a valid type
- specifier, the function typep can be used during method selection
- to determine whether an argument satisfies a parameter
- specializer.
-
- however, SBCL's EQL specializers are not type specifiers:
- (defmethod foo ((x (eql 4.0))) 3.0)
- (typep 1 (first (sb-pcl:method-specializers *)))
- gives an error.

+344: more (?) ROOM T problems (possibly part of bug 108)
+ In sbcl-0.8.12.51, and off and on leading up to it, the
+ SB!VM:MEMORY-USAGE operations in ROOM T caused
+ unhandled condition (of type SB-INT:BUG):
+ failed AVER: "(SAP= CURRENT END)"
+ Several clever people have taken a shot at this without fixing
+ it; this time around (before sbcl-0.8.13 release) I (WHN) just
+ commented out the SB!VM:MEMORY-USAGE calls until someone figures
+ out how to make them work reliably with the rest of the GC.
+
+ (Note: there's at least one dubious thing in room.lisp: see the
+ comment in VALID-OBJ)
+
+346: alpha backtrace
+ In sbcl-0.8.13, all backtraces from errors caused by internal errors
+ on the alpha seem to have a "bogus stack frame".
+
+349: PPRINT-INDENT rounding implementation decisions
+ At present, pprint-indent (and indeed the whole pretty printer)
+ more-or-less assumes that it's using a monospace font. That's
+ probably not too silly an assumption, but one piece of information
+ the current implementation loses is from requests to indent by a
+ non-integral amount. As of sbcl-0.8.15.9, the system silently
+ truncates the indentation to an integer at the point of request, but
+ maybe the non-integral value should be propagated through the
+ pprinter and only truncated at output? (So that indenting by 1/2
+ then 3/2 would indent by two spaces, not one?)
+
+352: forward-referenced-class trouble
+ reported by Bruno Haible on sbcl-devel
+ (defclass c (a) ())

+ (defclass b () (y))
+ (make-instance 'c)
+ Expected: an instance of c, with a slot named x
+ Got: debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread 78906:
+ While computing the class precedence list of the class named C.
+ The class named B is a forward referenced class.
+ The class named B is a direct superclass of the class named C.
+
+ [ Is this actually a bug? DEFCLASS only replaces an existing class
+ when the class name is the proper name of that class, and in the
+ above code the class found by (FIND-CLASS 'A) does not have a
+ proper name. CSR, 2006-08-07 ]
+
+353: debugger suboptimalities on x86
+ On x86 backtraces for undefined functions start with a bogus stack
+ frame, and backtraces for throws to unknown catch tags with a "no
+ debug information" frame. These are both due to CODE-COMPONENT-FROM-BITS
+ (used on non-x86 platforms) being a more complete solution then what
+ is done on x86.
+
+ On x86/linux large portions of tests/debug.impure.lisp have been commented
+ out as failures. The probable culprit for these problems is in x86-call-context
+ (things work fine on x86/freebsd).
+
+ More generally, the debugger internals suffer from excessive x86/non-x86
+ conditionalization and OAOOMization: refactoring the common parts would
+ be good.
+
+354: XEPs in backtraces
+ Under default compilation policy
+ (defun test ()
+ (throw :unknown t))
+ (test)
+ Has the XEP for TEST in the backtrace, not the TEST frame itself.
+ (sparc and x86 at least)
+
+ Since SBCL 0.8.20.1 this is hidden unless *SHOW-ENTRY-POINT-DETAILS*
+ is true (instead there appear two TEST frames at least on ppc). The
+ underlying cause seems to be that SB-C::TAIL-ANNOTATE will not merge
+ the tail-call for the XEP, since Python has by that time proved that
+ the function can never return; same happens if the function holds an
+ unconditional call to ERROR.
+
+356: PCL corruption
+ (reported by Bruno Haible)
+ After the "layout depth conflict" error, the CLOS is left in a state where
+ it's not possible to define new standard-class subclasses any more.

+ (reported by Bruno Haible)
+ When defstruct and defclass (with :metaclass structure-class) are mixed,

+359: wrong default value for ensure-generic-function's :generic-function-class argument
+ (reported by Bruno Haible)
+ ANSI CL is silent on this, but the MOP's specification of ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION says:
+ "The remaining arguments are the complete set of keyword arguments
+ received by ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION."
+ and the spec of ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION-USING-CLASS:
+ ":GENERIC-FUNCTION-CLASS - a class metaobject or a class name. If it is not
+ supplied, it defaults to the class named STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION."
+ This is not the case in SBCL. Test case:

+ (setf (fdefinition 'foo1)

+
+369: unlike-an-intersection behavior of VALUES-TYPE-INTERSECTION
+ In sbcl-0.8.18.2, the identity $(x \cap y \cap y)=(x \cap y)$
+ does not hold for VALUES-TYPE-INTERSECTION, even for types which
+ can be intersected exactly, so that ASSERTs fail in this test case:

+
+370: reader misbehaviour on large-exponent floats
+ (read-from-string "1.0s1000000000000000000000000000000000000000")
+ causes the reader to attempt to create a very large bignum (which it
+ will then attempt to coerce to a rational). While this isn't
+ completely wrong, it is probably not ideal -- checking the floating
+ point control word state and then returning the relevant float
+ (most-positive-short-float or short-float-infinity) or signalling an
+ error immediately would seem to make more sense.
+
+372: floating-point overflow not signalled on ppc/darwin
+ The following assertions in float.pure.lisp fail on ppc/darwin
+ (Mac OS X version 10.3.7):
+ (assert (raises-error? (scale-float 1.0 most-positive-fixnum)
+ floating-point-overflow))
+ (assert (raises-error? (scale-float 1.0d0 (1+ most-positive-fixnum))
+ floating-point-overflow)))
+ as the SCALE-FLOAT just returns
+ #.SB-EXT:SINGLE/DOUBLE-FLOAT-POSITIVE-INFINITY. These tests have been
+ disabled on Darwin for now.
+
+377: Memory fault error reporting
+ On those architectures where :C-STACK-IS-CONTROL-STACK is in
+ *FEATURES*, we handle SIG_MEMORY_FAULT (SEGV or BUS) on an altstack,
+ so we cannot handle the signal directly (as in interrupt_handle_now())
+ in the case when the signal comes from some external agent (the user
+ using kill(1), or a fault in some foreign code, for instance). As
+ of sbcl-0.8.20.20, this is fixed by calling
+ arrange_return_to_lisp_function() to a new error-signalling
+ function, but as a result the error reporting is poor: we cannot
+ even tell the user at which address the fault occurred. We should
+ arrange such that arguments can be passed to the function called from
+ arrange_return_to_lisp_function(), but this looked hard to do in
+ general without suffering from memory leaks.
+
+379: TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL broken on ppc/darwin
+ See commented-out test-case in debug.impure.lisp.
+
+380: Accessor redefinition fails because of old accessor name
+ When redefining an accessor, SB-PCL::FIX-SLOT-ACCESSORS may try to
+ find the generic function named by the old accessor name using
+ ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION and then remove the old accessor's method in
+ the GF. If the old name does not name a function, or if the old name
+ does not name a generic function, no attempt to find the GF or remove
+ any methods is made.
+
+ However, if an unrelated GF with an incompatible lambda list exists,
+ the class redefinition will fail when SB-PCL::REMOVE-READER-METHOD
+ tries to find and remove a method with an incompatible lambda list
+ from the unrelated generic function.
+
+382: externalization unexpectedly changes array simplicity
+ COMPILE-FILE and LOAD
+ (defun foo ()
+ (let ((x #.(make-array 4 :fill-pointer 0)))
+ (values (eval `(typep ',x 'simple-array))

+383: ASH'ing non-constant zeros
+ Compiling
+ (lambda (b)
+ (declare (type (integer -2 14) b))
+ (declare (ignorable b))
+ (ash (imagpart b) 57))
+ on PPC (and other platforms, presumably) gives an error during the
+ emission of FASH-ASH-LEFT/FIXNUM=>FIXNUM as the assembler attempts to
+ stuff a too-large constant into the immediate field of a PPC
+ instruction. Either the VOP should be fixed or the compiler should be
+ taught how to transform this case away, paying particular attention
+ to side-effects that might occur in the arguments to ASH.
+
+384: Compiler runaway on very large character types
+
+ (compile nil '(lambda (x)
+ (declare (type (member #\a 1) x))
+ (the (member 1 nil) x)))
+
+ The types apparently normalize into a very large type, and the compiler
+ gets lost in REMOVE-DUPLICATES. Perhaps the latter should use
+ a better algorithm (one based on hash tables, say) on very long lists
+ when :TEST has its default value?
+
+ A simpler example:
+
+ (compile nil '(lambda (x) (the (not (eql #\a)) x)))
+
+ (partially fixed in 0.9.3.1, but a better representation for these
+ types is needed.)

+389:
+ (reported several times on sbcl-devel, by Rick Taube, Brian Rowe and

+
+ ROUND-NUMERIC-BOUND assumes that float types always have a FORMAT
+ specifying whether they're SINGLE or DOUBLE. This is true for types
+ computed by the type system itself, but the compiler type derivation
+ short-circuits this and constructs non-canonical types. A temporary

+ compiler's type deriver.
+
+393: Wrong error from methodless generic function

+ One of the remaining problems in SBCL's Unicode support is the lack
+ of generality in certain streams.

+ to streams made from strings that aren't character strings with
+ fill-pointers:
+ (let ((v (make-array 5 :fill-pointer 0 :element-type 'standard-char)))
+ (format v "foo")

+
+398: GC-unsafe SB-ALIEN string deporting
+ Translating a Lisp string to an alien string by taking a SAP to it
+ as done by the :DEPORT-GEN methods for C-STRING and UTF8-STRING
+ is not safe, since the Lisp string can move. For example the
+ following code will fail quickly on both cheneygc and pre-0.9.8.19
+ GENCGC:
+
+ (setf (bytes-consed-between-gcs) 4096)
+ (define-alien-routine "strcmp" int (s1 c-string) (s2 c-string))
+
+ (loop
+ (let ((string "hello, world"))
+ (assert (zerop (strcmp string string)))))
+
+ (This will appear to work on post-0.9.8.19 GENCGC, since
+ the GC no longer zeroes memory immediately after releasing
+ it after a minor GC. Either enabling the READ_PROTECT_FREE_PAGES
+ #define in gencgc.c or modifying the example so that a major
+ GC will occasionally be triggered would unmask the bug.)
+
+ On cheneygc the only solution would seem to be allocating some alien
+ memory, copying the data over, and arranging that it's freed once we
+ return. For GENCGC we could instead try to arrange that the string
+ from which the SAP is taken is always pinned.
+
+ For some more details see comments for (define-alien-type-method
+ (c-string :deport-gen) ...) in host-c-call.lisp.

+ (format *standard-output* "~A" '#1=(#1#)))
+ (which prints "(((#)))" to *STANDARD-OUTPUT*), I don't think

+408: SUBTYPEP confusion re. OR of SATISFIES of not-yet-defined predicate
+ As reported by Levente M\'{e}sz\'{a}ros sbcl-devel 2006-02-20,
+ (aver (equal (multiple-value-list
+ (subtypep '(or (satisfies x) string)
+ '(or (satisfies x) integer)))
+ '(nil nil)))
+ fails. Also, beneath that failure lurks another failure,
+ (aver (equal (multiple-value-list
+ (subtypep 'string
+ '(or (satisfies x) integer)))
+ '(nil nil)))
+ Having looked at this for an hour or so in sbcl-1.0.2, and
+ specifically having looked at the output from
+ laptop$ sbcl
+ * (let ((x 'string)
+ (y '(or (satisfies x) integer)))
+ (trace sb-kernel::union-complex-subtypep-arg2
+ sb-kernel::invoke-complex-subtypep-arg1-method
+ sb-kernel::type-union
+ sb-kernel::type-intersection
+ sb-kernel::type=)
+ (subtypep x y))
+ my (WHN) impression is that the problem is that the semantics of TYPE=
+ are wrong for what the UNION-COMPLEX-SUBTYPEP-ARG2 code is trying
+ to use it for. The comments on the definition of TYPE= probably
+ date back to CMU CL and seem to define it as a confusing thing:
+ its primary value is something like "certainly equal," and its
+ secondary value is something like "certain about that certainty."
+ I'm left uncertain how to fix UNION-COMPLEX-SUBTYPEP-ARG2 without
+ reducing its generality by removing the TYPE= cleverness. Possibly
+ the tempting TYPE/= relative defined next to it might be a
+ suitable replacement for the purpose. Probably, though, it would
+ be best to start by reverse engineering exactly what TYPE= and
+ TYPE/= do, and writing an explanation which is so clear that one
+ can see immediately what it's supposed to mean in odd cases like
+ (TYPE= '(SATISFIES X) 'INTEGER) when X isn't defined yet.
+
+409: MORE TYPE SYSTEM PROBLEMS
+ Found while investigating an optimization failure for extended
+ sequences. The extended sequence type implementation was altered to
+ work around the problem, but the fundamental problem remains, to wit:
+ (sb-kernel:type= (sb-kernel:specifier-type '(or float ratio))
+ (sb-kernel:specifier-type 'single-float))
+ returns NIL, NIL on sbcl-1.0.3.
+ (probably related to bug #408)
+
+410: read circularities and type declarations
+ Consider the definition
+ (defstruct foo (a 0 :type (not symbol)))
+ followed by
+ (setf *print-circle* t) ; just in case
+ (read-from-string "#1=#s(foo :a #1#)")
+ This gives a type error (#:G1 is not a (NOT SYMBOL)) because of the
+ implementation of read circularity, using a symbol as a marker for
+ the previously-referenced object.
+
+411: NAN issues on x86-64
+ Test :NAN-COMPARISONS in float.pure.lisp fails on x86-64, and has been
+ disabled on those platforms. Since x86 does not exhibit any problems
+ the problem is probably with the new FP implementation.
